An interesting blend of international politics and crime. Too obvious symbolism in the title, but nice style.

Great review! Everything that you wanted to learn about the book was in the review. However, I don't think this book would be to my liking.

"Slay the Dragon" by William McGinnis. An interesting book has lots of action and adventure amid investigations of different crimes. Adam Weldon and his friends has put hands on deck to fight for their rights and freedom, corruption, brutality, and racism, no matter how challenging it might be. Congrats on your #BOTD.

Good to know there wasn't anything to dislike about the book. While I love good murder mystery I rarely read thrillers. Good review.

The plot of investigating crimes and exposing hidden truths is so intriguing! The author's way of building suspense and the short chapters must make for an engaging read.

I thought this was a fantasy thriller from the title and was surprised to find it a crime novel with a political and sort of espionage theme. It looks like an action-packed novel with a good plot. Thanks for this great review!

From the beginning, this story seemed too real. Inciting riots and unrest, hitting civilization below the belt. It felt like something that is really happening out there- I wish it didn’t! Lots of action and plenty to think about. The book is very interesting and enjoyable to read. I rate it four 🌟, and I recommend it to any book lovers, that love reading action books.

A thriller with a political tone and advocacy for justice will make a good read. I wish Adam and Davies both safety and success. Congrats on BOTD. Amazing review.

This book has everything I like. At first, i thought that the dragon here is in a literal sense, but I guess it's just a metaphor. Anyway, I want to read this book. Thanks for the review.

The review gives great detail and clarification to the story. The plot of the book follows planned attacks from a foreign entity to ruin American ideology through violence, hatred, and the use of racial differences. This promises to be a multi-pronged investigation to solve the death of their friend who was killed in the riot.

This seems to be an exciting book. China will love to save its face by ensuring this investigation doesn't get a meaningful conclusion. A lot of politics is involved in this book. Thanks for the review.

I like the tension and suspense in the book, that will definitely keep me glued to the pages till the very end. I hope Adam and BC manage to find the truth about the murder of BC's friend without any help from the authorities and being hunted by these authorities to prevent them from what they might find. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

With this review am sure the book has so much to say about China and USA. And with the death of Dave being murdered hmm am sure the book contains crime and political issues.
